and over and the booms to 10 or lift., while the battens are so 

 placed tbat the sail cannot fold up. When once afloat, with a 

 steady breeze, and the crew hiking out to windward on bis slid- 

 ing seat, the rig is very fast and effective; not only is reefing im- 

 possible, however, but the canoe will not stand up under her sails 

 without the crew on board, so the rig must be unshipped as soon 

 as the boat stops sailing. The canoeist must get out in some way 

 and seize his mainsail, removing it at once and laying it where he 

 can, then looking over the mizen. As it requires a space of at 

 least 10x14ft. for such a sail to lie flat in, the handiness and con- 

 venience of such a rig may be readily appreciated. In spite of the 

 disadvantages urged against Mr. Barney's sails, they were eer- 

 taiuly neat, simple, effective and very easily stowed and trans- 

 ported; but little can be said in favor of the present monstrosities 

 save that thev are a flttine part of a racing machine. There are 

 several good lowering rigs present, but it is too soon yet to say 

 what they will do in the races. Thus far the winds have been 

 very unsatisfactory for a trial. 



One of the most interesting boats present is the Charm, de- 

 signed and sailed bv Mr. Walter Stewart, R. C. C who raced the 

 Pearl in 188(5 at Grindstone Island. As is generally known, Pearl 

 was a heavy ballast canoe, very deep and of full model, sailed 

 with the crew below. After trial with the American canoes, Mr. 

 Stewart discarded neai ly all of his ballast and tried the deck po- 

 sition with such ijond results that he adhered to it on his return. 

 In the winter of 1880-'? he designed and had built a new canoe, the 

 Charm, an entire departure from the British canoe, and at the 

 same time unlike any American boats in detail. She is 15ft. 2J^in. 

 over all, 30t^in. beam, .Ma. draft, Bin. least freeboard, 5in. sheer at 

 bow and 3in, alt. She has the theoretic wave form, the bow being 

 60 per cent, and the run 40 per cent, of the total length. The mid- 

 ship se-timi shows a V form, with considerable deadrise. with a 

 very hard bilge at the waterline, the topsides tumbling in a littlo. 

 On deck she is very fine forward, with little flare, and very full 

 aft, the appearance being far from pleasing. The centerboard is 

 well forward, weighs 301 bs., and has an area 2.6sq. ft. The drop 

 rudder is long and powerful, with a deck tiller, no footgear being 

 fitted. The first rig tried last year was the Pecowsie, with three 

 sails, but it did not answer in the uneven and squally winds of 

 the Thames and Hendon Lake, so it was replaced by two balance 

 lugs, one of 83ft. and one of lft. The sail ara is limited in the R. 

 C. C. to 100ft., not more than 75 per cent, of the total in the main- 

 sail, and with this rig Charm is undersparred for American 

 racing, more especially as she has no suinaker in her outfit here. 

 The hull is planked with ,J ,«in. Spanish cedar, ribband carvel, 

 with the plank edges smooth lapped as well, a very neat piece of 

 boat building. The bottom is much rockered, being cut up al- 

 most to the waterline at each end, from a draft of 5in. amid ship. 

 The forefoot is nearly square, with a plum stem and slight rake 

 to sternpost. The keel was shod with Jiin. iron, a weight of 121bs. 

 or more, hut this has been removed since she reached camp. The 

 hull and rig look well atloot, but the boat is not as fast as her 

 rivals, and stands good from all appearances for nothing better 

 than a place about the middle of the fleet in the Trophy race. 

 She has been successful at home, winning the challenge cup of 

 the R. C. C, both this year and last, but from the partial trials 

 here she cannot hold any of the faster boats. Tims far there has 

 not. been wind enough at any time to sail over half the course, 

 and it is very doubtful wheiher the races Will he more than 

 flukes. „ . _^ 



Pecowsie is not here this season, and Mr. Barney, Sr., has a new 

 canoe, one of the handsomest present. The Buggies, as she is 

 named iu honor other builder, is lBXoOtn., built of white Cali- 

 fornia cedar, and is one of the lightest hulls yet built, the weight 

 without, fittings being 531bs. The model is the joint production of 

 the owner and builder, Mr. Barney specifying the leading fea- 

 tures, while Mr. Buggies arranged the details. The midship sec- 

 tion savors of Pecowsie, though the boat, is larger and abler, but 

 is placed nearly I Sin. forward of midships, the. idea being to bal- 

 ance the crew properly when seated in the center of the boat, 

 keepinc all weights amidships. The lines are very fair and beau- 

 tiful, but the boat would be faster if the. ends were reversed. The 

 sheer is peculiar and not handsome, there is a good deal of crook 

 forward and aft, the deck is nearly straight. The board is of thin 

 brass, the ordinary plate like Pecowsie, near the center of the 

 boat. The fittings are very simple and light, the mizen sheet 

 block being specially neat. It is fitted so as to swing to either 

 side, always making a fair lead for the sheet. The two sails are 

 of the. Pecowsie pattern, the third or middle mast tube of the 

 Pecowsie being omitted. Mr. George Barney is here without a 

 canoe, and will not enter in the races. 



Another fine specimen of canoe building is the Narka, owned 

 by Vice- Com. Rice, of Springfield, and also built by Mr. Ruggles. 

 She is 10X28, with very fair and easy lines, a beautiful craft both 

 in model and workmanship. She has two mast tubes, a plate 

 board direct! v in the well, with just room abaft it to sit inside 

 for paddling, and no bulkheads. She will enter in the paddling 

 and combined races, and is certain to make a good showing. 



Near the Spring field dock are some very handsome canoes 

 owned by Mr. Butler and several other canoeists from Lowell, 

 Mass. No one has worked harder or made more improvements 

 in his canoes within the last three years than Mr. Butler, and he 

 deserves thoroughly to succeed. The present boats were built by 

 Stevens, of Lowell, under Mr. Butler's direction. Thev are 16 x" 

 SOin., deep boats with full, round lines, the floor being flat amid- 

 ships, with good hearings and an easy bilge. When in racing 

 trim, no ballast being carried, they draw but 3 or 3^in., bo thai, 

 the full waterlines are admissible. The whole underbody is some- 

 what saucer shaped, wide rather than deep, giving some fulcrum 

 for the sails and crew to balance on. The freeboard when in this 

 racing trim is excessive, far more than would seem advisable for 

 windward work, but it has an advantage in that the canoe can be 

 heeled until the sails lie flat on the water, and yet no water will 

 enter the well. They would be handsomer and faster to wind- 

 ward with Sin. less freeboard; but now they are practically 

 non-capsizable. The general form of the bottom is not uh- 

 Hke that of the best Canadian canoes, and is in marked 

 contrast to most of the racers at the meet, with great dead rise. 

 In size and model they would make excellent cruisers, except 

 for the fact that if loaded to a draft of Sin. they would be slow, 

 owing to the fullness of the ends. The wells are of medium size, 

 but the boards fill the greater part of the cockpit. Mr. Butler's 

 board is 3ft. Gin. long. The deck fittings on his beat, the Flv, are 

 aU of aluminum, specially designed by him. The best wrinkle is 

 a leader for the mizen sheet. With the old mizen of 15 to 25ft. 

 there was little need of great delicacy of trim, and an eye or block 

 on the sternpost served very well. Now, However, that the mizen 

 has doubled in size and is nearly as large as the mainsail in same 

 cases, it must be trimmed and tended as carefully as the mainsail. 

 A single lead amidship will not do this, as hauling the sail flat 

 must at. the same, time bring the boom squarely amidships. To 

 avoid this, Mr-. Butler has fitted a piece of 3^iu. tube, 6in. long 

 near the sternpost, pivoting it at one end so as to awing • fi eel v 

 from side to side. Through this tube the mizen sheet is led, i n the 

 free end of the tube forward and out the end which is pivoted. 

 When the sheet is hauled in the sail is trimmed fiat, but tbo boom 

 is kept 4 or Sin. from the center line of the canoe, the tube thus 

 acting the same as a traveler on a sailboat. The boats are all 

 ribband carvel build, of 5 3 „iu. Spanish cedar, three strakes to each 

 side, and are very light and strong. The workmanship is excel- 

 lent, the planking being very fair and regular, with no lumps or 

 hoUows. The masts of the Ply are both hollow, four layers of 

 1 16 in. spruce, each wound spirally, the first over a core or mandrel 

 that is afterward removed, leaving the completed mast M'm. 

 thick, with al^in. hole through a 2in. stick. They are strong 

 and light, but will not stand much exposure to water. 



On the Lowell dock are two curious canoes; one, that was pres- 

 ent last year, has a perfectly flat floor and straight, vertical sides— 

 a scow canoe, while the other is a later development of the same 

 idea, the bottom being rounded into the sides by a turn instead of 

 a square angle where they join. 



The two cup -winners of the W. C. A. meet, Notus and If, are 

 both present, the first sailed by Vice-Corn. Bailey in the same 

 form as when in Com. Gibson's hands last, year, no changes hav- 

 ing been made. It is a large and powerful boat, built by Bowdish 

 & Son from their own designs. She has little deadrise, but a 

 gradual round from the keel up, the bilge being distinctly marked 

 but not hard or angular. The sheer and the breadth on deck are 

 both fair and pleasing, with no special peculiarities. The hull is 

 built on a plan patented by the builders, which we have previoual v 

 described, the planks are 6 16 in. thick, each edge grooved with a 

 thin feather of basswood, about 1 i fl x i a inserted iu the grooves. 

 The hull is very strong but heavy, as the makers have not as yet 

 devoted any attention to building very light craft, and their 

 machinery is not fitted to work thinner stuff. All parts of these 

 canoes are got, out by special machines, the ribs are bent and then 

 slit so as to make four ribs of exactly the same shape from 

 each piece. The planks are only l^in. wide, each pair being 

 shaped first from a piece thick enough for two, which is then 

 sawn in half, so that both sides must be exactly the same. The 

 ribs are joined to the keel by small brass pieces specially made 

 for the purpose; similar pieces being used as knees. The rig is an 

 enlargement of the Pecowsie sails, mainsail 50ft. and mizen"" 



folded up. The mainsail is 10ft. 9in. on luff and 7ft. 5iu. on foot; 

 mizen 9ft. Bin. and Oft. 9in. Though the If has raced as 16ft.x30in., 

 on accurate measurement showed her to be nearly an inch over 

 length, and Mr. Bowdish, who was in camp, spent a morning in 

 altering her to comply with the rules. 



A chance measurement of another racer which raced last year 

 at the exact limit of her class showed that she had spread so as to 

 be weil outside the limits, a fact not at all surprising, when it is 

 considered that she is a large canoe, quite deep and with a good 

 deal of deadrise, and is built as light as possible, having neither 

 bulkheads nor deck knees to stiffen her, not. even mast tubes. 

 Her board is very large and powerful, the trunk does not aid in 

 stiffening the hull, while she carries a mainsail of 73ft. and a 

 mizen of 38. When sailed hard she spreads to an unknown beam, 

 and even when lying ashore sho showed more beam than she had 

 last. year. In order to enter her the owner was obliged to squeeze 

 the sides together by boring holes through the upper streak, in 

 which strong brass hooks were screwed; a rope, strap was stretched 

 over the hooks and twisted with a stick until the sides were 

 squeezed in. Two of these improvised clamps served to reduce 

 the beam to the requisite limits. The If is noticeable for having 

 a deep fishtail rudder of mahogany, nearly every other racing 

 boat having metal drop rudders, 



A very neat and effective pump has been devised by Mr. E, H. 

 Barney for his new canoe. The foot valve is placed in a small 

 brass casting on the keelson, just abaft the trunk, being pivoted 

 so as to swing from side to side athwartship. The pump barrel 

 is a brass tube, long enough to reach over the coaming, with a 

 brass rod and valve for a plunger. The barrel may he screwed 

 into the foot valve, being quickly put in place or removed, and 

 when in use it. may be swung to either side, so as to be always 

 within reach when sitting to windward. A very few strokes 

 suffice to throw out the water that is apt to be shipped at times 

 in rough seas. 



There are many other canoes and rigs in camp that deserve no- 

 tice, but they are not yet in sailing trim and ready for inspection. 

 The racing craft as a rule are more of the machine order than 

 ever before, in model, rig and fittings, and the line between the 

 racer and cruiser seems pretty clearly defined. It is evident to 

 many that; the present development of the sailing racer has al- 

 ready produced the "hiker canoe," and that another season or 

 two of the same progress will either kill racing entirely so far 

 as the average amateur sailor is concerned, or work its own cure 

 by making necessary some strict regulations which shall pre- 

 serve a certain number of races to the legitimate canoe. The 

 paddling races too are threatened with an invasion which must 

 drive out any man who is only a good cruising paddler. The 

 latest star among Uie paddling racers, not a member of the A. C. 

 A. however, uses a 14ft. double blade, standing in his canoe, and 

 it is reported that as long as the balance can be maintained the 

 speed is far greater than in the ordinary sitting position. 



In spite of aU this and the fact that the proposed cruise was a 

 failure, the cruiser seems to grow and prosper, and this year he is 

 present in goodly numbers, and with some excellent canoeB. True, 

 he does not always bring his canoe outfit to the meet, preferring 

 a larger tent and meals at the mess tent, but there are many 

 well known cruisers present, and plenty of cruising talk. 



On Satm-d ay evening a number of old canoeists reached camp, 

 ex-Com. Edwards, of Peterboro, Leys and Johnson, of Toronto, 

 ex-Com. Nickcrson and Mr. Geo. M. Barney, of Springfield, with 

 others of their club. Mr. Rushton. Mr. Clias. F. Gardner and his 

 wife, and Messrs. Burchard and Nadal of New York. On Satur- 

 day Dr. and Mrs. Neide spent the day in camp. Dr. Gardner will 

 be remembered by the older members as one of the original 

 founders of the A. C. A., and he has with hi m now the large canoe 

 Iris that he. used in 1681. 



On Saturday night the first large camp-tire was lighted in the 

 center of the main camp, there being upward of 300 seated around. 

 The evening was passed pleasantly with songs and stories, the 

 male quartette of the Deowiusta C. C. furnishing some very fine 

 music. The night was delightfully clear, a blue sky with the 

 bright moonlight dimming the red glow of the huge fire, and it 

 was nearly midnight before the charmed circle was broken. 

 Sunday proved one of the finest, days the meet has yet been 

 favored with, clear and warm, yet with a breeze all day. For 

 almost the first time no service was held in camp, the only min- 

 ister present being caUed away for the day. 



BATH, Me., Aug. 15.— The interest in canoeing is steadily on 

 the increase at Bate. The number of canoes afloat has increased 

 from eight in 1887 to nearly thirty at the present time. The Star 

 O. C. was recently organized with ten canoes in commission and 

 the following officers were elected for one year: Captain, W. B. 

 Potter; Mate, H. O. Stinson; Secretary and Treasurer, II. H. Don- 

 nell; Steward, C. B. Coombs. The Kennebec River and vicinity 

 offers splendid water :for ."cruises, either long or short, aud 

 canoeists here are not slow to take advantage of them. Most of 

 the canoes in use at the present are canvas, about 13x36, but- we 

 are gradually grasping the idea that a wooden canoe a little 

 longer and with a trifle less beam would be more suitable for 

 general purposes, and the indications are that another season 

 will see a great revolution in designs, sails, etc.— Shc.

POINTS OF THE N. Y. Y. C. CRUISE. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



The recent cruise of the New York Y. C. has brought out the 

 following principal points: 



First— For the first time the new deep sloop Katrina met a vessel 

 of her class in the 70ft. cutter Bedouin. They raced Ave times 

 during the cruise. Four times in succession the Bedouin won. and 

 the fifth race for the Fearing and Vanderbilt prizes, off Newport, 

 turned out a fizzle, owing to the fluky nature of the wind, the 

 leaders getting away full five miles before the rest worked into 

 the same wind. These trials have shown that Katrina is a very 

 fine craft, a vast improvement upon the orthodox style of Ameri- 

 can sloops. But the trials also demonstrated that a good cutter 

 can always be built to equal anything in the centerboard line. 

 These tests are fraught with just as much weight as the interna- 

 tional races, and every time the latter are cited as proof in favor 

 of the board, the performance of the Bedouin can be quoted to 

 jusr the contrary. In short, speed does not depend upon type per 

 sc. but upon the individual excellence of each design apart from 

 the type selected. 



Second— The cutter Pappoose beat the new deep Burgess sloop 

 Nymph as often as they met. In the heavy weather match from 

 New Bedford to Newport she sailed the sloop out of sight, though 

 the latter is several feet longer. 



Third— In the Vineyard Sound race, in strong weather, the keel 

 schooners Alert and Mirauda beat the whole centerboard fleet of 

 cracks, such as Sea Fox and Grayling, with the exception of the 

 Sachem, this schooner beating the keels by about one minute. 



her picked-up crew scarcely knowing the ropes, and also that 

 Miranda is twelve vears old. of very strong build and with some 

 of her ballast inside, it is fair to infer that both Alert, and Mir- 

 anda, when tuned up to the same pitch as Sachem, would give 

 her the slip in a breeze and sea. 



Fourth— On the run from New Bedford to Newport, the Grayling 

 struck in 15ft. of water owing to the deep draft of centerboard 

 vessels. She lost the day 's race, lost the chance to race for the 

 Newport cups Aug. 19. and lost, several hundred dollars for re- 

 pairs. A keel craft would have gone clear. Reports did not say 

 that Grayling spraug a-lcak. but it is likely she did, The light 

 draft of center-boards is frequently a delusion. 



Fifth— If the cruise was not very eventful, it seeme 1 to remove 

 some of the lingering prejudices against cutters and keels gener- 

 ally. Alert, Bedouin and Pappoose have made a host of new 

 converts, while the deep centerboard schooner Marguerite and 

 the sloop Nymph, through their comparative failure, have also 

 helped along the good cause. X. 



CORINTHIAN Y. C, MARBLEHEAD, AUG. 18. 



THE races open to all New England clubs were sailed in a nice 

 northwest wind and smooth water. Course for first and 

 second class, 10 miles; for the rest 6 miles. The cutter Saracen 

 showed best to windward among the big ones, and in second class 

 the cutter Br en da won without resort to spinaker or topsail. The 

 Cape centerboarder Mucilage, despite her sticky name, beat a 

 very fast lot and was the surprise of the day.
